Our Cookbook Blog

Our Cookbook ~ What We Cook, is a compilation of every recipe we (Janice and Carissa) cook - recipes from our cookbook collections, our recipe boxes, and our heads! We set up this blog for friends and family who have our cookbook to let them see pictures we post of the recipes in the book, and also for us to note any corrections, revisions, or additions to What We Cook. We encourage people who are cooking our recipes to let us know how the recipes turn out and any suggestions they might want to make.

In addition, we will be sharing some of our new recipes (along with pictures) that are not in our cookbook. We hope you will help us out and test recipes and give us your comments.

Cheesy Scalloped Potato Sticks ~ page 93



I fixed this cheesy potato side dish tonight for my two little grandsons, Gabe and Elias (I am taking care of them for a week while their parents are on a trip). Let me tell you--this is a VERY kid friendly dish. They loved it! Both boys gobbled it up and asked for seconds. (I did make them eat their steamed broccoli before they got more of this yummy dish though.)

The raw potatoes are cut into French fry-size pieces.
Just barely cover with water, bring to a boil and simmer just 3 minutes.
I like to drain the potatoes in a colander and shake them to dry--this will help the creamy sauce to cling to them.
A white sauce flavored with dry mustard is poured over the blanched potatoes, then a sprinkling of sharp cheddar cheese...and just 30 minutes in the oven, and this dish is ready for the dinner table. ~Janice
